I fully expect many to say it will be different this time. But when I think about Minnesota in the presidential elections for the GOP, I have visions of Lucy teeing up the football.

Mail-in voting will be the WILDCARD. Remember how AlFranken ( in my view ) stole the Senate elections from Norm Coleman.
Coleman was leading until Franken was able to “discover” hundreds more votes in his favor. Franken won by a mere 225 votes. It was ruled that 4,800 absentee ballots were wrongly rejected and should be counted.
This WILL happen gain, this time on a nationwide scale.
One note from the article—that Republicans didn’t win there with Reagan in 1984. Whether it is true or not, insiders from the Reagan campaign knew they were going to kick ass that year—probably winning every state. They had the money, and thought about advertising hard to win Minnesota, even though they knew they were going to win the election. But they didn’t, to allow Mondale to save some face and “allow” him to win his home state.
